Find a unit vector u in the same direction as v= (8,-4)

Mathematics
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago
6 0
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise we have the following vector:

\vec{v}=(8,-4)

So we need to find a unit vector \vec{u} which is defined as follows:

\vec{u}=\frac{\vec{v}}{\mid \vec{v} \mid}

Finding the magnitude of the vector:

\mid \vec{v} \mid=\sqrt{(8)^2+(-4)^2} \\ \\ \mid \vec{v} \mid=\sqrt{64+16} \\ \\ \mid \vec{v} \mid=\sqrt{80} \\ \\ \mid \vec{v} \mid=4\sqrt{5}

Then, by substituting the unit vector is:

\vec{u}=\frac{(8,-4)}{4\sqrt{5}} \\ \\ \vec{u}=\frac{(8,-4)}{4\sqrt{5}} \\ \\ \vec{u}=(\frac{8}{4\sqrt{5}},-\frac{4}{4\sqrt{5}}) \\ \\

\vec{u}=(\frac{8}{4\sqrt{5}}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}},-\frac{4}{4\sqrt{5}}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}) \\ \\ \\ \boxed{\vec{u}=\left(\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5},-\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}\right)}

68/80 as a fraction,percent,and decimal
madam [21]
68/80 is a fraction
34/40
17/20 is simplest form of fraction

percent means parts out of 100 so x/100
20 times 5=100 so
17/20 time 5/5=x/100=85/100 or 85%

decimal is normally a power of 10 so
85/100=0.85

If 3y+2 is an odd integer then what is the odd integer that follows it
UNO [17]

Answer:

3y + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

All odd integers are 2 units appart.Take for example the odd integers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, they all are 2 units apart from the next odd integer. Therefore, if 3y + 2 is an odd integer, then the next odd integer is 3y + 2 + 2 = 3y + 4. For example, if y = 1 , then the first odd integer is 3(1) + 2 = 5, and the odd integer that follows it is 3(1) + 4 = 7

An amount of 1,500.00 is deposited in a bank paying an annual interest rate of 4.3% compounded quarterly. What is the balance af
defon

First, multiply the 1,500 by 4.3% to come up with $64.50 every three months (the question says compounded quarterly).

$64.50 x 4(quarters in a year) = $258.00 per year

$258.00 x 6 years = $1,548.00

$1,500.00 + $1,548.00 = $3,048.00 balance after six years
